Taylor Swift’s new album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” is not only making waves in the music industry but also in the realm of life-saving techniques.
The title track from Swift’s new album has a rhythm that matches the optimal tempo for performing hands-only CPR, with 110 beats per minute. Watch a report on this from Boston 25 News below.
The American Heart Association recommends using this song’s beat as a guide for performing CPR in case of emergencies. The instructions are straightforward: upon witnessing a collapse of a teen or adult, the first step is to call 911, and then start chest compressions to the rhythm of “The Tortured Poets Department.”
